Reflection On The Seamstress

In chapter 2, the reader can infer that the Jews turn against one another. For example, When Mrs. Schächter was yelling about the fire, the Jews attempted to calm down/soothe her. As time passed, her screams excelled and were causing the passengers to become upset and anxious. They then started to beat Mrs. Schächter to silence her. The reader can also infer that this behaviour continues throughout the novel because nobody can trust anyone and the Jews had to fend for themselves in these harsh concentration camps.

As well as this, the novel signifies indifference of the will to live, whereas the film hardly mentions it among the Jews. As the end of the story grows near, Elie notes the indifferent attitude of those simply forcing themselves to go on, to survive during a Winter march: “Beneath our feet there lay men, crushed, trampled underfoot, dying. Nobody paid attention to them” (89). Yet again, indifference is illustrated because of how they no longer had the will to push themselves. Instead, the Jews started following orders out of habit and lacked the will to object. Lastly, the novel shows little to no opposition from the Germans, demonstrating Nazi indifference. When the officers at the camp separate the men and women. Elie says these officers declare orders in “words spoken quietly, indifferently, without emotion” (29). In other words, the Nazi officers are simply carrying out orders to avoid exhibiting that they are against anti-Semitic norms that most Germans have adopted. In the film however, although Bruno’s father is a Nazi general, his mother and grandmother still demonstrate a strong opposition toward the Nazi party’s anti-Semitism the more they are exposed to it. For example, while the mother gets into a big argument with her husband, the grandmother refuses to show up at her son’s house for a visit (Boy in Striped Pajamas). Unlike the Nazis in the novel, this clearly

Even though war had been declared, Germany was still overthrowing countries. After the army was invade a section of land or a city, a few days after they had left the SS would follow and whipe out the rest of the undesirables within the estate. Mass shootngs would have a deep mental effect of the shoulders killing all these people day after day. Soon it lead to other ways of destroying the jewish and other hated races.

One important quote from the story was when Elie Wiesel and his father go to the concentration camp. “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into a long night. Never shall I forget those flames witch consumed my faith forever” (25). This quote shows how life in the concentration camps were horrible. It shows how the nazizs were brain washing the Jewish people giving them no power or hope. Also having them weak no faith of coming out. In conclusion, This is important because people need to help the people that suffered and how the nazizs were torturing them because hitler blames them Jews. He

Whenever you helped a Jew you were shamed throughout your entire town. (Document B) The way they did this was by whoever committed the crime was walked down the road along with the people they helped to execution site. (Document B) This was mainly done to show non-Jewish Poles the punishment of helping a Jew. This was also done to strike fear in them. The Germans wanted the Poles of fear them for they wouldn't go against them. These moment were often put in newspaper and put on the radio to scare the Poles. (Document B) But besides the people who were caught and killed there was people who successfully helped Jews live though the war and lived

The jews were also treated as animals the German soldiers had no respect over them because of what they believed in. The German soldiers used the jews for their entertainment they would make the jews fight over bread. “In the wagon where the bread had landed, a battle had ensued. Men were hurling themselves against each other, trampling, tearing at and mauling each other.” (Weisel. 101) They would have to hurt people they love because of the hunger they had.

To begin, in the book Night, the Jews were being judged because of the way they looked, the religion they followed, and their ethnicity. Moishe the Beadle was deported because he was a foreign Jew. Rumors were spreading about Nazis coming into towns and taking over. After some Jews were deported, life became normal again. Everyone was doing everyday activities. “The deportees were quickly forgotten. A few days after they left, it was rumored that they were in Galicia, working, and even that they were content with their fate. Days went by. Then weeks and months. Life was normal again. A calm, reassuring wind blew through our homes. The shopkeepers were doing good business, the students lived among their books, and the children played in the streets. One day, as I was about to enter the synagogue, I saw Moishe the Beadle sitting

The Nazi soldiers and the german society were led to believe that the Jews were a burden to the perfect race and needed to be exterminated. Orders were put into place and the beginning of this massive genocide began at the end of a gun barrel pointed at an innocent human. As soon as the victims would be brought into the camps, they would be stripped of their clothes, shaved in all places, and be yelled at like dogs in order to dehumanize the jews. The Kapo and SS leaders were so corrupt and cruel to all their victims. In Night, the SS condemned the young Pipel to death because they found weapons on him.

In chapter one we meet Moishe The Beadle a poor Jew in Sighet where the author and narrator Eliezer also lives. Eliezer who is also jewish and studies Talmud but wants to learn Kabbalah but Eliezer’s father disapproves. Moishe knows Kabbalah and teaches Eliezer. One day all of the foreign Jews are forced to leave Sighet by the Hungarian police. Moishe The Beadle and others like him are forced into train cars like animals. Months pass when suddenly Moishe the Beadle returns and tells Eliezer what happened. They were taken to Poland and met the Gestapo who forced them to dig their own graves Moishe was able to escape after being shot in the leg and left for dead. Moishe then warns everyone to leave because danger is coming their way no one listens to his warning and it’s the end of 1942. Now it is spring 1944 and the people in Sighet begin listen to the radio in disbelief how one man (Hitler) is trying kill off an entire group of people. News from Budapest says that jews are being attacked by Nazis the Jews in Sighet are hopeful believing the Nazis won’t come near their town. When the Germans arrived while they are not extremely friendly they are not violent. As passover ends the limitation starts. Jews can not leave their house for three days or else they die, no longer allowed to keep valuable items and they must wear a yellow star. Eliezer’s father attends a meeting and comes home with news deporting starts tomorrow. The police are violent with the

The Jews is Europe, mostly Jews in Germany, saw the rising dislike and lack of tolerance the German population was starting to show. It started with the Jews not being allowed in certain areas of town, then they weren't allowed to do certain things, until they were stripped of a lot of their rights and forced to wear armbands that signified their allegiance to Judaism. All this paled to what the Jews were going to soon experience. In the Conspiracy, at the Wannsee, a proposal is made for the complete seclusion and termination of Jews. The proposal was worded in a manner that made Jews seem like a commodity that could be used and then thrown out. And that is how they were treated when they were placed in the ghettos. They were treated like pack

They taught me about this terrible event in history.The two books Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein and Night by Elie Wiesel both told glorious and agonizing stories about their past that needs to be brought up and learned about. I've learned that all the characters in the books Night and Rose Under Fire share the same experiences in some way or another. They aswell have differences such as where they were brought and their background. I learned that their experiences mean a lot more than just words on paper. The Holocaust was a horrible time period yet we survived it but it is not something we will ever be able to forget. Rose and Elie share their true stories on their experiences in the

“...the mass murder of some 6 million European Jews (as well as members of some other persecuted groups, such as Gypsies and homosexuals)”(History.com Staff). So, Jews weren’t the only people prosecuted by the Germans,

The novel imparts several lessons for its readers. It educates the people about the innumerable atrocities committed by the Germans during the Holocaust in the 2nd World War. It teaches one the virtue of not believing everything that falls upon our ears and about thinking about your own self. The book also transmits a strong message about not becoming a blind follower and standing up for what’s right even when faced with futile

The Holocaust was a very tragic event that happened in world history. One of the many books written about this is the The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne. In this book, Bruno and Gretel Hoess along with their parents, have different perspectives of the current events going on around them. Throughout the book, some of their initial perspectives change as they change their surroundings. The children have different perspectives of the world around them than their parents.

The theme of racism is one that is heavily (for obvious reason) played with the separation of Jews and Germans. Spiegelman makes a clear separation by drawing the Jews as mice and the Germans as cats. R.C. Harvey was a heavy commentator on his work and said that “he nonetheless employed a metaphor that can be interpreted as perpetuating a stereotypical image of Jews” (244). The Germans as we know, referred to the Jews as “vermin to be exterminated,” and Harvey felt that Spiegelman played to heavily on this notion. To the affect that it was “his visual simplification renders all Jews in virtually the same way…individuality is thereby eliminated…it was precisely this sort of dehumanizing of Jews that had to take place before the Nazis could persuade themselves to ‘exterminate’ the ‘vermin'” (Harvey 244). There were several key people that heavily criticized the novel, but ultimately, they were a small
